A Meyersdale man was arrested Saturday on charges
that he tried to solicit male strangers to rape
his female friend.
According to state police, the charges against
68-year-old Roger Wahl include rape solicitation
identity theft and invasion of privacy for an
incident that originated and was facilitated
through the WQZS 93.3 radio station.
Troopers say he created an online dating profile
of the victim and pretended to be her.
They say someone agreed to meet her, but met
Wahl instead.
Troopers say he tried to convince the man to go
inside her house and rape her.
Wahl is also accused of sending nude pictures of
the woman to several men.
Troopers say he obtained the pictures by placing
a trail camera in the victim's bathroom without
her permission.
Police say the victim was unaware of the plot
and was not involved at all.
